Structures of Native Doublet Microtubules from Trichomonas vaginalis Reveal Parasite-Specific Proteins

Abstract Doublet microtubules (DMTs) are flagellar components required for the protist Trichomonas vaginalis (Tv) to swim through the human genitourinary tract to cause trichomoniasis, the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease. Lack of structures of Tv’s DMT (Tv-DMT) has prevented struc...
